Drip and Sleeknote are now part of the WPBeginner family.

We've run email marketing on WPBeginner and our other brands with @GetDrip for years, so this one feels personal. It's officially ours now.

Social platforms keep cutting your reach. AI answers send fewer people to your site from search. Your email and SMS list is the one audience nobody can take away from you, and Drip is built to grow that list and turn it into repeat sales.

More than 6,000 brands already use it.

@Sleeknotecom adds slide-ins, sticky bars and spin-to-win wheels to your site, and it's free with every Drip plan.

Drip's one-click workflow templates handle welcome emails, abandoned carts, back in stock alerts and birthdays.

With Drip SMS, a shopper who leaves a cart gets an email first, then a text if they still don't buy. It works for US stores today.

A free MCP connector lets Claude or ChatGPT pull your Drip numbers and draft your next campaign.

Revenue reports show you which emails actually make money.

If you already use Drip, nothing changes. The team and the prices stay the same, and Mogens M酶ller still leads Drip and Sleeknote.

You can try Drip free for 14 days with no credit card.

On December 8, WordPress starts sending visitors to random posts on your site. There's no dashboard setting to turn it off 馃

It comes from the new /random/ link in WordPress 7.2. Anyone who visits yoursite.com/random/ lands on a random published post.

On a blog, that's a fun way to resurface old posts. Agencies should look twice, because it's on by default for every public post type with an archive, including client pages nobody meant to show off.

We've been testing the 7.2 beta on a demo coffee shop blog since Beta 1, and most of the update is good news for site owners.

Here's what you'll find in our preview:

馃摑 Notes in the margin: Notes now sit right next to the block they're about, and you can keep them open while you edit block settings.

馃帹 Ipsum: The new default theme comes with 8 color styles and 6 typography sets. It also ends 16 years of "Twenty-something" theme names.

馃摫 Responsive galleries: You can show 3 columns on desktop, 2 on tablet, and 1 on mobile without writing CSS.

馃攢 Turning off /random/: It takes one line of code, and the snippet is in the guide.
